May 2012 "Gossip Girl" Birchbox Review

I received my Birchbox at the end of last week and I was excited to see that it was sponsored by Gossip Girl. I am a Gossip Girl FANATIC (Chuck and Blair forever!) So, it was no surprise that when I got the box my heart skipped a beat.

So here's what's inside:

Fusion Beauty LipFusion Balm: (full-size) $22

Ojon damage reverse Restorative Conditioner: (sample) $2.94

Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream: (sample) $3.80

Arquiste Flor y Canto scent: (sample) $3.39

*Bonus: Gossip Girlxoxo Notecard w/Envelope

The positives:

The box is worth about $32. At first glance, I thought it was a great box. I've heard a lot about the Ojon products and have always wanted to give them a try. I also interned at The Plaza Hotel, where Caudalie has a spa, so i already knew that that would be an excellent product. I am apprehensive about the lip plumper, because I already have full lips and fear that i'll walk around looking like a duck, but it promises that it is gentle so we'll see.

The negatives:

Once I did some research, there were a few boxes that I would have preferred getting. For example, this is theSECOND box that I did not receive a nail polish in and i'm highly annoyed by this. They sent another perfume sample *whoopie* I could live without it. I would have liked the Stila eyeliner... but ehhh.

I'm considering re-taking the quiz to see if my next box shifts a little but honestly, for $10, I can't REALLY moan about $32 in products.

I appreciate this review because I am still thinking of to which company to sign up for this service, but I must admit I really want to... now that sounds awesome to receive $32.00 worth of products for just $10.00, so that's nice! I will keep this in mind :)Good luck!

heeeeeyyyy fellow lag alum!!! I am totally obsessed with Chuck and Blair myself, in fact, I just spent an afternoon sippin' on something bubbly at the Empire Hotel (just 'round the corner from our hs)... anyway, this birchbox seems really nice, though I wasn't that impressed with their other months... still, for $10, it's a steal!!

thanks for your lovely comment on my blog!I don't know the Birchbox, probably it's a us-thing? but I think we've something similar in Germany, it's called glossybox, and it costs only 10 euro per month and they have usually great beauty things in it - so perhaps, I think the glossybox is about to be established also for other countries, so it might be available also for the us soon (or it is perhaps already?) - well you could definitely try this one too ;-)And you've a lovely blog, I followed you ;-) I'd be happy if you visited my blog too from times to times ;-)

Sorry the box wasn't 100% what you were expecting! I haven't done any of the subscription boxes because I'm picky about the products I use :) Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog, I'm following now!
